What about those orange fault readers from ebay? I bought one before but didn't use it.

They are good but vag com is way better  :wink:

Much more expensive too! I'll get another of the orange readers. How extensive is the fault list on the OBD?
If my car was running rough, would it bring up a fault i.e would it show my fault MAF?

Cheers.

in a word no - knackered MAF will 9/10 times not show a code

You need vagcom to measure the MAF and ensure its figures are meeting those requested by the ECU
